Interim Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Interim Financial Statements

Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Progenics," "we" or "us") develops innovative medicines for oncology. Our clinical development efforts center on late-stage oncology assets. We are conducting a phase 2 clinical trial of our therapeutic candidate for prostate cancer, PSMA ADC, a fully human monoclonal antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), and have recently completed a phase 2 trial of 1404 (trofolastat), an imaging agent candidate also for prostate cancer. We are resuming a pivotal phase 2 clinical trial of Azedra™, our ultra-orphan radiotherapy candidate for pheochromocytoma and have determined to move MIP-1095, a small molecule therapeutic candidate for prostate cancer, into clinical development, and expect to file an IND application for it in the U.S. later this year.

We have licensed our first commercial drug, Relistor® (methylnaltrexone bromide) subcutaneous injection for the treatment of opioid induced constipation (OIC), to Salix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and have partnered other internally-developed or acquired compounds and technologies with third parties. We continue to consider opportunities for strategic collaborations, out-licenses and other arrangements with biopharmaceutical companies involving proprietary research, development and clinical programs, and may in the future also in-license or acquire additional oncology compounds and/or programs.

We fund our operations to a significant extent from capital-raising. In the first quarter of 2014, we raised $37.5 million in an underwritten public offering of 8.75 million shares of common stock, and entered into an agreement with an investment bank under which we may sell from time to time up to $50 million of our stock. In addition, our current principal sources of revenue from operations are royalty, commercialization milestone and revenue-sharing payments from Salix relating to Relistor. Royalty and milestone payments from Relistor depend on success in development and commercialization, which is dependent on many factors, including Salix's efforts, competition from drugs for the same or similar indications, and decisions by the FDA and other regulatory bodies. The FDA is rescheduling to June 11-12 the meeting of an Advisory Committee, originally announced in June 2013 in response to Salix's appeal of the agency's July 2012 Complete Response Letter in respect of its supplemental New Drug Application for Relistor for treatment of opioid-induced constipation in patients with chronic non-cancer pain. The meeting dates are not official until they are published in the U.S. Government's Federal Register.

Progenics commenced principal operations in 1988, became publicly traded in 1997 and throughout has been engaged primarily in research and development efforts, establishing corporate collaborations and related activities. Certain of our intellectual property rights are held by wholly owned subsidiaries. All of our operations are conducted at our facilities in Tarrytown, New York. We operate under a single research and development segment.

Funding and Financial Matters. At March 31, 2014 we held $94.0 million in cash and cash equivalents, an increase of $28.1 million from $65.9 million at 2013 year-end. We expect that this amount will be sufficient to fund operations as currently anticipated beyond one year. We may require additional funding in the future, and if we are unable to conclude favorable collaboration, license, asset sale, capital raising or other financing transactions, we will have to reduce, delay or eliminate spending on some current operations, and/or reduce salary and other overhead expenses, to extend our remaining operations. We expect to continue to incur operating losses for the foreseeable near future.

Our interim Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report have been prepared in accordance with applicable presentation requirements, and accordingly do not include all information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals necessary for a fair statement of results for the periods presented. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. Our interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data in these financial statements were derived from audited financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
